President Isaac Herzog hosts US Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, who is visiting Israel with a congressional delegation.
“We are really overjoyed that you are here in Israel and we are grateful to you for your friendship, which represents so much in the unique relationship between Israel and the United States, an unbreakable bond, and we are very glad that you are here with your husband in Israel, in Jerusalem, in the Holy Land,” Herzog tells Pelosi. “Welcome and have a wonderful visit.”
Pelosi thanks the president for his hospitality, and the two discuss poetry by Ehud Manor. “It really is true, and we’ve discussed this, that the arts bring us together,” she says. “Somehow there is a way, where the inspiration and shared values enable us to forget some of our differences. To the beautiful friendship between our countries.”
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
